Hearing Conservation Management Programmes

H.A.S.S. Industrial's Noise-Ban Elite custom-made hearing protection devices offer optimum protection for those operating in noisy environments, while still providing the opportunity for communication. They are backed by ISO 9001:2008 accreditation and the SABS-approved Performance Mark.
